American Rotary visits an MD helicopter maintenance facility. They have a shop full of 3-phase equipment from mills and lathes to welders and air compressors. Hangars that are off the 3-phase grid can run three phase equipment on American Rotary phase converters.
In an environment such as agriculture there is often no three-phase power or the cost to run it in can be quite expensive. So what do you do? You have equipment and machinery you need to run to operate your farm. American Rotary Phase Converters digitally controlled analog three-phase power is perfectly suited to run […]
Dave & Dave visit East Side Cabinets, a maker of european style cabinets. Bryan gives us a tour of his shop and shows how multiple phase converters from American Rotary power all of his equipment from his edge-bander, air-compressor, to his CNC router, all three-phase. As East Side expands, American Rotary has continued to provide […]
We visit Life Long Memories, a company that has custom equipment to perforate paper to make bookmarks for the funeral industry. The equipment has a regenerative blower, vacuum pump, and several motors that drive linear motion. They are all controlled by VFD’s (variable frequency drives) and powered by an American Rotary Phase Converter.
Dave & Dave visit famous furniture sculptor Henry Royer. Henry runs his entire shop on an American Rotary phase converter. He details some of his past experiences with other rotary-type phase converters, and gives us a tour of some of the equipment that helps him and his daughter to do their incredible art. It was […]
A sneak peak into the American Rotary Factory as a digital SMART Converter is assembled, tested and shipped out to a customer. All American Rotary Phase Converters are entirely made in the USA and our staff of engineers and customer service people are always on hand to find the perfect solution to your three-phase power […]
The American Rotary ADX “Smart Series” Phase Converter demonstrates the starting power of these converters. We compare the time it takes an ADX to start (2.9 seconds) an Ingersol-Rand T30 20HP Air-compressor to the time it takes a typical rotary phase converter (7.9 seconds) to start the same air-compressor. Just over 2 minutes.
For years, many companies have used (and continue to use) the inexpensive method of “stacking” run capacitors in order to get a phase converter started. Those capacitors are not taken out of the circuit once the phase converter is running, which results in extremely high voltage and current imbalance. This condition causes current overloads that […]
We thought we’d take a moment to talk about American Rotary’s integrated soft start. For years, phase converters have had a reputation of drawing a huge inrush current upon start up. This disproportionate power draw has resulted in, among other things, dimming the neighbor’s lights, demand charges from the utility, and large increases on power […]
Welcome to the American Rotary blog! American Rotary is the manufacturer and distributor of the largest selection of phase converters and industrial transformers online. American Rotary is the only phase converter manufacturer to offer every type of phase converter: static, rotary, digital, CNC, and variable frequency (inverter or VFD). We will use this blog to […]
